If anyone is interested and has about 5 minutes to spare: The above link has an interesting series of questions which will ultimately yield a graph indicating where you stand politically. You don't have to sign in to anything, sign up for anything or provide any more personal information that your browser already does.

My resulting graph came as no real surprise other than I thought I was a bit more "left".

I truly do hope everyone is taking time to educate and inform themselves on who they're voting for and why. It's true- either McCain or Obama are destined for the White House. But you can send a message by voting for a number of other candidates who more accurately represent YOU. Don't be misled by slanted media coverage, commercials or flyers. I believe that voting blind is a bigger dis-service to this country than not voting at all.

Don't vote blind.

Do vote informed.

Thank you.

Soap box, anyone?

I am getting so fed up with the driving habits of some people. The woman who drives the car pictured ought to have her license revoked immediately! After blazing past myself and a dozen other cars at break-neck speeds she cut me off with barely a foot a clearance and no turn signal. I honked only to receive the middle digit for my concern. Interestingly enough I recognized the frizzy, over-bleached, white/blonde hair as that of a "waitress" (coughpoledancercough) from my one and only visit to The Tilted Kilt. And wouldn't you know it? That is where she pulled off into. Must've been late for her shift or something.

Sorry, folks, but these driving habits need to be addressed. So I've taken it upon myself to let everyone know who she is (to the best of my knowledge), what she drives and where she works. Maybe this will get her thinking that her actions do, in fact have consequences.

Oh, and the tattoos, the ones pointing to her cootch... How nice that they match the decals on her windshield. Nice in an oildale Barbie sort of way.
